Galloping Goose delivers a fountain of flora

Blackberries are here and so is the summer weather! That is an awesome combination for any beekeeper.

During the May/June Bike to Work Week last month, I was astounded at the amount of wildflowers scattered along the scenic Galloping Goose Trail. While my bike-to-work venture covered only 20kms of the 60km trail, there were plenty of floral fragrances visible that would make many a beekeeper happy. Here is just a small selection:

Scotch broom

Californian poppy

Thimbleberry

Daisy

Blackberry

Dandelion

Cornflower

Phlox

Phlox

Creeping buttercup

Clover

Wild rose
